About this listen

“Whimsical, witty, and brimming over with charm” (India Holton), Olivia Atwater’s delightful debut will transport you to a magical version of Regency England, where the only thing more meddlesome than a fairy is a marriage-minded mother!

It’s difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you’re a young lady with only half a soul.

Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear or embarrassment—an unfortunate condition that leaves her prone to accidental scandal. Dora hopes to be a quiet, sensible wallflower during the London Season—but when Elias Wilder, the strange, handsome, and utterly ill-mannered Lord Sorcier, discovers her condition, she is instead drawn into peculiar and dangerous faerie affairs.

If her reputation can survive both her curse and her sudden connection with the least-liked man in all high society, then she and her family may yet reclaim their normal place in the world. But the longer Dora spends with Elias, the more she begins to suspect that one may indeed fall in love even with only half a soul.

A little short in my opinion

It was a little short, I wish they had expanded on the romance between the two main characters a bit more but other than that I really enjoyed the book to the end. I would definitely recommend

Delightful story

I wasn’t really sure what to expect but decided to try book after a person I trust’s review. The is my first book by this author but I will now read more of her work. She has spun a delightful tale of unique characters. Fairies and magic are present but also important social commentary on the work houses England once utilized. I also appreciated the attached short story as you learn more about Arthur’s character.

Happy Tears

Oh it was so sweet and she was so witty. I didn’t LOVE his voice but I was okay with it. Definitely one of my favorite reads of the year.

Loved this story!

The narration is great and draws you in. The story is heartwarming and charming! I have not enjoyed a book as much as I did this one in a while. If you want a lighter story that is an easy listen but also a good story. This book is for you.

An absolute dream

"I am sure that every evil man believes himself to be charitable," she told him. "In that respect, at least, you are a true Englishman."

The perfect mixture of Howl’s Moving Castle and Pride & Prejudice! How could it be anything but 5 stars?! This best book I’ve read this year by far; I’ve already listened to it 2x this past month.
